Sitting at the crossroads between the Mâconnais and Beaujolais, Mâcon-Pierreclos owes its fame to Jean-Marie Guffens, whose wines under the Guffens-Heynen label (mainly from the Le Chavigne lieu-dit) match the best of the Côte de Beaune for intensity and character. So, it’s great to see this vineyard now appear under the Verget label. This négoce bottling is made from low-yielding vines over 50 years old.

The vines are sited on particularly rich limestone at the top of the hillside. Made from first pressings only and matured in foudres for eight months before bottling in June 2023, the result is an alluring, balanced white Burgundy showing notes of citrus peel and poached pear set against a zippy, zesty core of fruit. There is a hint of good reduction here, just a touch of struck match that adds complexity to the fruit.

Reviews

"The 2022 Mâcon-Pierreclos comes from late-picked, older vines. It has a steely, quasi-Chablis-like bouquet with cooking apple and pear scents. The palate is well-balanced with a dab of sour lemon and fine weight. It's a little waxy in texture with a persistent finish. This will represent great value for money."
